Lunar astronauts placed a reflector on the Moon's Surface, off which a laser beam is periodically reflected. The distance to the Moon is calculated from the round-trip time. (a) To what accuracy in meters can the distance to the Moon be determined, if this time can be measured to 0.100 ns? (b) What percent accuracy is this, given the average distance to the Moon is 3.84108m ?
A highway patrol officer uses a device that measures the speed of vehicles by bouncing radar off them and measuring the Doppler shift. The outgoing radar has a frequency of 100 GHz and the returning echo has a frequency 15.0 kHz higher. What is the velocity of the vehicle? Note that there are two Doppler shifts in echoes. Be certain not to round off until the end of the problem, because the effect is small.
You are working for SETI, the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence. One day, you receive a radio communication from an alien intelligence. Although you cannot understand their language, they have included some photos from an I Love Lucy episode. The photos allow you to determine that it is the episode in which Lucy makes a television commercial on Vitameatavegamin. This episode first aired on CBS on May 5, 1952. Before running to your supervisor to tell him the news, you quickly determine how far away in light-years the alien civilization is.

Suppose a 128-kbps point-to-point link is set up between the Earth and a rover on Mars. The distance from the Earth to Mars(when they are closest together) is approximately 55 Gm, and data travels over the link at the speed of light (3X108m/s). Calculate the minimum RTT for the link. (b)Calculate the delay X bandwidth product for the link. A camera on the rover takes pictures of its surroundings andsends these to Earth. How quickly after a picture is taken canit reach Mission Control on Earth? Assume that each image is 5Mb in size.

A police officer's radar gun emits radio waves at a frequency of 10.7 GHz10.7 GHz. What is the difference in the frequencies reflected back to the radar gun by a car traveling at the 55 mph55 mph speed limit and a car travelling 6 mph6 mph faster? Assume that the cars are both headed directly away from the stationary officer.
An astronaut takes what he measures to a be a 10-minute nap in a space station orbiting Earth at 8000 m/s. A signal is sent from the station to earth at the instant he falls asleep, and a second signal is sent to Earth the instant he wakes. Does an observer on Earth measure the astronaut’s nap as being shorter than, longer than, or equal to 10 min?
